"Some in GOP Fear Effort May Alienate Voters"
WTF, who are they, liberal demoncRATs?

It may not alienate me but this does piss me off. Having been involved in a next of kin issue that resulted in both sides of the family going to court and many many months of legal proceedings. Time that should of been spent taking care of my father in law was spent instead talking to lawyers and judges who after 2 years agreed that his children were legally next of kin ...duh. The govt has no business involving themselves in a next of kin issue.

That said Michael Shaivio is a POS for trying to murder his wife, but the decisions regarding the care or lack of care is not for anybody else to decide except next of kin, in this case Michael Shaivio. If there is sufficient evidence that he committed a crime and is responsible for her condition let them come forth and have him charged

This is setting a very dangerous precident for families and those who disagree with them.

Nice apples and oranges argument. This has nothing to do with family decisions, it has to do with keeping an innocent alive.

Pray for W and Terri

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

So you're OK with killing a non-comatose woman without a Living Will.

It's OK with you that her griefstricken mother is standing beside her watching her die & there is a policeman there to prevent her from putting a few drops of water in her daughter's mouth?

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

The POS abrogated all rights as care giver and of guardianship when he took to himself another (common law) wife, fathered two children and blew Terri's insurance compensation.

It is now rather well verified that she suffered many broken bones while under the POS's direct care.
